Indian History. 



The story of the Indian is ever interesting to stu- 
dents of history. Few and simple were his laws, yet 
more generally observed than the numerous enact- 
ments of civilized nations which fill many volumes of 
statute books. The Indian history ot Berwick centers 
about three distinct tribes of red men. The Newich- 
awannocks living on the banks of the Piscataqua; the 
Sokokis, or Saco tribe, in the vicinity of the Saco 
River, and several tribes living in Canada. The first 
tribe the Newichawannocks, called by Williamson, the 
Piscataquas, arc best known to the people of Berwick, 
living as the}' did, almost side by side with the early 
settlers of the town, the early pioneers considering 



6 HISTORICAL 

them good neighbors. Unlike many of their neigh- 
boring tribes, this race of Indians was ever peaceful 
with the whites. Abused, neglected and even cheated 
out of their own homes by many of the settlers, yet 
they never retaliated with the hatchet. Their acts of 
friendship were of no small number. They sold land 
to the whites, and traded with them their spoils of 
archer}'. Rowles, their Sagamore, sold land to 
Humphrey Chadbourne and Thomas Spencer, the 
former being the oldest Indian deed in the records of 
Maine. We are ever reminded of this race by the 
historic Indian names, given by them to different parts 
of the town, and many of which are kept today. 

The second tribe, the Sokokis, are perhaps known 
as well as the former but not with the same interest 
and feeling. Unlike the Newichawannocks, these 
Indians were ever ready to injure the whites, and found 
many opportunities to do so. This race lived to the 
east of the Saco River as far as the Passamaquoddy, 
and are known as the Saco Indians. The mention of 
the name, King Phillip, is sufficient to acquaint the 
reader with this tribe. 

The last, the tribes of Canada, are best known in 
the French and Indian war. The story of that conflict, 
is known well to the reader, and the part acted by these 
Indians, gives us a good insight into their character. 
The carl}' pioneers got along fairly well at first with 
the red men. Perhaps this condition was caused 
more by fear than by friendship, knowing as he did 



HISTORICAL 7 

that all quarrels with the white men would be ruinous 
to the Indian. Finall}^ this tranquilit}' was broken, the 
red men influenced by the French, and encouraged by 
their chieltains, and aware that their hunting grounds 
would soon be overrun by the whites, and a condition 
of hostilities was broui^ht about. Berwick situated as 
she was, an inland town facing the unbroken forests, 
the home of the painted warrior, was among the first 
to be assailed. Her period of suflering and blood-shed 
covers many 3-ears. Hostilities began with the opening 
of King Phillip's war, 1675. Squando the Sagamore 
of the Saco tribe was the leader in the movement. 
He desired revenge against the whites for an act of 
injury and insult (as he claimed when persuading his 
own race to take up arms) against himself and his 
race. It seems that at one time his squaw was passing 
along the Saco River in a canoe, with her infant child, 
when she was accosted by several rude sailors who 
having heard that the Indian children could swim as 
naturally as the young of the lower animals, approached 
her, and in a fit of humor overset the canoe to try the 
experiment. The child sank, and though the mother 
diving, brought it up alive, it soon after died, and the 
parents claimed its death was due to the ill-treatment. 
Other causes for an opening of war, were brought 
forward, yet the spirit of jealousy no doubt caused 
the movement. The Indians first attacked the settle- 
ments near Saco, and then proceeded towards the Pis- 
cataqua river, intending to make an assault upon any 



8 HISTORICAL 

defenceless place. The tirst place to be assailed was 
the dwelling house of Mr. Richard Tozier, situated 
where is now the residence of Mr. Charles Collins, on 
the South Berwick road a short distance from the rail- 
road. Mr. Tozier and the men ol his neighborhood 
were absent at the time, as they had gone to the aid of 
Saco, when help was requested. Mr. Tozier's iamily 
consisted ol fifteen persons all women and children. 
Upon this defenceless family the Indians made an 
attack. Their approach was tirst discovered by a 
"young heroess" as she is termed, who w^hile the rest 
of the famil}' were escaping, kept the door fast against 
the Indians, until they chopped it down with their 
hatchets, with which the}- knocked her senseless. But 
the poor maid who had ventured her life to save many 
others, was, by a strange providence enabled to re- 
cover sufficient strength after they were gone to find 
her way to a near by garrison where she was healed of 
her wounds and restored to perfect health. 

The savages on the day following set tire to the 
house and buildings of Captain Wilcoln and reduced 
them to ashes. Some of the men from garrisons pur- 
sued the fleeling Indians but night-fall checked their 
endeavors. These two attacks nerved the settlers to 
action. Troops were sent from Boston to aid the 
settlements, and everything possible was done to meet 
another attack. It is said that some sections wxnt so 
far as to offer a bounty oi $5.00 for every Indian scalp 
secured. 



HISTORICAL 9 

A letter addressed to two gentlemen at Dover 
communicates the distress of that place. "To Richard 
Waldron and Lieutenant Coffin: These are to inform 
3'ou that the Indians are just now engaging us with at 
least one hundred men and have already slain four of 
our men, Richard Tozier, James Berry, Isaac Bottes 
and Tozier's son, and burned Benoni Hodsdon's house. 
Sirs, if ever you have any love for us, show yourselves 
with men to help us, or else we are in great danger of 
being slain, unless our God wonderfully appears for 
our deliverance. They that cannot fight let them pray. 
Roger Plaisted, George Broughton," Mr. Toziei's 
residence was the object of a second attack. The fol- 
lowing month on October i6, Mr. Tozier was killed 
and his son carried into captivity. Lieutenant Roger 
Plaisted, the commander of the garrison, sent a portion 
of his men to the rescue, but, falling into an ambush, 
they finally made their escape, not however, until 
three of their number were slain. 

Mr. Plaisted then set out with a party to recover 
the three bodies of his fallen comrades and was 
attacked b}' one hundred and fifty Indians. In the 
battle which followed Mr. Plaisted, one son and a 
third man was killed. A second son died soon after- 
ward of wounds received in the fight. He and his two 
sons were buried on his own land near the battle ground 
in full view from the highway. Their lettered tomb- 
stones bear this inscription, "Near this place lies 
buried the body of Roger Plaisted, who was killed by 



lO HISTORICAL 

the Indi;ins, October i6, 1675, aged 48 years, also the 
body of his son, Roger Plaisted, who was killed at the 
same time." 

This burying spot is in full view of the road from 
Berwick village to South Berwick, and has been 
enclosed by an iron railing. In retiring, the Indians 
burned several buildings and killed a number of settlers. 
The town again suffered an attack in the French and 
Indian war (1688-92). In March 18, 1690 the most 
famous attack was made upon Newichawannock. A 
band of Indians led b}' Hartel, a Canadian ofBcer, and 
the famous Hopegood, made the assault upon the set- 
tlement at daybreak, in three different places. The 
defenders of the settlement fought heroically but were 
finally forced to surrender, but not until over thirty of 
their number were slain. The remaining number, fif- 
ty-four, mostly women and children, were taken 
captive. The enemy burned all the houses and mills 
as far as the Great Works river, then after taking all 
the plunder they could carry, retreated northward. 

The enemy were pursued b}' a party of one hun- 
dred and forty men who came upon them at Wor- 
ster's Brook at a narrow bridge. Hartel, expecting an 
attack, placed his men in an advantageous position on 
the banks of the stream. They fought all the afternoon 
but with little loss on either side. The French and 
Indians held their pursuers in check until night and 
then continued their retreat, tormenting their captives 
with shocking cruelty. Among these unfortunate cap- 



HISTORICAL II 

tives was Mrs. Mehitable Goodwin, Hetty Goodwin as 
she was always called, who was taken by the Indians 
with her husband and baby. The husband and wife 
were separated by two parties of savages, and set forth 
on their long and tedious journey to Canada, each 
believing the other to be dead and leaving behind them 
their comfortable tarm on a beautiful hill near Plaisted 
Garrison. In the early part ol the march one of the 
Indians snatched the babe from its mother's arms and 
dashed its head against a stone; and when the poor 
mother dragged her weary steps behind the rest and 
could not still her cries, they threatened to kill her in 
the same wa}' if she did not stop weeping. At night 
fall she was stooping over a brook trying to wash a 
bloody handkerchief and her tears were falling last 
again. She forgot the threat ot her captives. Sud- 
denly a compassionate squaw, pitying the poor lonely 
mother, threw some water in her face as if in derision. 
"This squaw had a mother's heart," the old people used 
to sav in telling the story in Canada. The captives 
suffered great hardships, and "Hetty Goodwin, a well 
otT woman" was sometimes so hungry that she stole 
food from the pigs. She was bought at last by a 
Frenchman and supposing her husband to be dead and 
despairing of ever reaching home again she married 
him and bore two children. Their names corrupt from 
the French were Rand; and the Plymouth famil}- of 
the name is said to be descended from them. The 
captive husband afterwards gained his freedom and 



12 HISTORICAL 

being iniormcd that his wile was still alive went back 
to Canada and ibund her and brought her back, alter 
which they lived unmolested and were the parents ot 
many children. Hetty Goodwin's halt buried head 
stone may still be seen in the Old Fields burying 
ground. 

Robert Rogers being unable to carry the burden 
which they had imposed upon him, dropped it in 
the path and went aside in the woods to conceal him- 
self. The Indians when they had found him tortured 
him in the most cruel manner. They first stripped 
him and after beating him with clubs tied him to a 
stake and kindled a lire about him. The Indians 
would not let him have a speedy death but would push 
the fire towards him then draw it away, so as to give 
him a chance to breath thus prolonging his sufferings. 
The noise of the groans of the dying man was drowned, 
by the hideous yells of the Indians, as the}- danced 
about him, cutting ofi' pieces of tiesh and throwing it 
into his face. This was all done in view of the other 
captives. 

Mar}' Ferguson, a young girl, burst into tears 
because of the hugh burden that was placed upon her, 
and declared she could go no further. An Indian led 
her aside and cut of^' her head holding it up exclaiming 
"so I will do with you all if you cry or complain." 
Mary Plaisted was taken with a child three weeks old 
and forced to travel through the snow. To ease her 
of her burden they dashed the child against a tree and 



HISTORICAL 13 

hung it upon one of its branches, telling the mother 
she might come that way again and have the pleasure 
of seeing it. 

These are a few instances of the way that those 
who were taken captive in that battle were treated. 
The journe}' to Canada, through swamps, heavily bur- 
dened, with scanty clothing and food, cannot be 
pictured on paper. 

In July 1690, Hopegood, a leader in the first 
attack again appeared on the scene, with a gang of 
ruffins and proceeded to burn the settlement ol the 
town. The entire settlement (not the whole of Ber- 
wick) was wiped out. The settlement known as 
Salmon Falls was destro^'ed but because of the strength 
of the whites the Indians did not venture below the 
Great Works river. 

As a specimen of the character of Hopegood an 
incident is told of his cruelty to a small bo}' whom he 
had taken captive. James Keay, a bo}' five years old 
is the one referred to and because he was lonely and 
cried for his parents, The}' stripped him and having 
tied him to a tree whipped him until he was covered 
with blood, to stop his cr3'ing. Soon after he had a sore 
eye, and Hopegood said it was caused by crying and 
then he turned it from its socket with with his thumb. 
Afterwards when the child could not keep up in 
traveling he split its head open with a hatchet. 

In 1703, tour men were killed and several taken 
prisoners. The Indians on the 26th of September ol 



14 HISTORICAL 

that 3ear attacked a garrison in the south part of the 
town but were repulsed. 

A few years hiter a large part}' of Indians were 
captured b}' the whites at Eliot and taken as capti^■es 
to Boston where some were executed. The capture 
was accomplished by means of a council being held at 
which the Indians were present on invitation, and dur- 
ing the events oi the day a sham battle was suddenl}- 
converted into an attacking party and the Indians were 
captured with lightning-like rapidity. 

Major Charles Frost of Eliot was hated by the 
Indians because of his activity and success in fighting 
them, and they resolved upon his death. He was shot 
while returning from Great Works on July 4, 1697. 
Dennis Downing and the wife of John Heard were 
killed at the same time. Mr. Heard escaped. 

We are told that the Indians dug up Mr. Frost's 
body and hoisted it upon a pole at the top of Frost's 
Hill. 

His grave was afterward covered over by a very 
heavy fiat stone which bore a plain inscription. The 
spot where he was slain is now known as "Ambush 
Rock." 

At the same or nearly the same time James Good- 
win and two other persons were slain while at work in 
their fields. 

On May 4, 1705, many persons were surprised 
near Spruce Creek. Three were killed and several 
more were taken captives. Enoch Hutchins was the 



HISTORICAL 15 

heaviest sufferer, he losing his wife and family at that 
time. On the twent3'-tirst of that same month James 
Tobey and his son, James, were slain in the woods by 
the Indians. John Rogers was wounded but succeeded 
in escaping. 

On June 6, 1706, Lieutenant John Shapleigh was 
killed and his son, Nicholas, taken prisoner and carried 
to Canada. Ten daN'S later Phillip Carpenter, his wife 
and tour children were slain at Spruce Creek. 

On September 30, of the lollowing year, James 
Ferguson and wile were slain by the redskins as they 
were returning from the meeting house in Berwick. 

We might enumerate man}- other instances of the 
bloody hand of the savage, for he was ever ready to 
wield that deadl}' weapon upon his supposed menacer, 
yet it would only prejudice us against him. 

The savage, cruel as he was, had man}' good qual- 
ities, and also many grievances at the hands of his pale 
faced neighbors. Whatever we may feel to be the 
true estimate of the Indian, we must not lose sight of 
the fact that he was a semi-barbarian and was being 
robbed of his former home. He fought according to the 
methods of the Indian race and is not to be blamed for 
that. Our course should be to treat as well as pos- 
sible this race, forced to the west and made destitute 
of lands, home and nationalitv.

— Growth of Settlements — Friends or Qiiakers — 
Witchcraft Past — Present. 

In tracing the early settlement of Berwick, the 
writer does not intend to give extended details, for 
space does not permit, but will narrate the more im- 
portant events in as concise and chonological a manner 
as possible. In giving the history of the present Ber- 
wick, the writer must take the reader back to the first 
settlement in what was originally Berwick, trace out 
the gradual trend of the people as they populated the 
three Berwicks. Berwick was originally a part of the 
posessions of Sir Ferdinando Gorges, a man of great 
integrity and whose infiuence and liberalit}' made 
possible the establishment of permanent settlements at 
Saco, York and Kittery. 

The first white person to set foot on Berwick soil 
w^as no doubt Martin Pring. He, through the aid and 
influence of the cit}' officials and merchants of the cit}' 
of Bristol, Fngland, actually visited our coast with two 
vessels on June 7, 1603. Soon after, he explored the 
region of the Piscataqua up as far as Berwick, some 



HISTORICAL 17 

three or tour leagues, so the records read. Gorges in 
his history says, Pring made a perfect surve}^ of all 
these rivers and harbors and brought the most exact 
account of the coast that had come to hand. Captain 
Batholomew Gosnold sailed from England the previous 
year, 1602, but visited only the coast of Maine. Pring's 
pilot on this second vo3'age (it is said) was one of the 
sailors in the Gosnold expedition. These proofs and 
others are sufficient to convince us that this reoion 
along the Piscataqua was visited by white people 
before the Jameston settlement, 1607. Piscataqua, be- 
low the present South Berwick line, between that town 
and Eliot was settled (it is safe to say) as early as 
1623. 

The exact date of the first settlement in Berwick 
is a problem for solution. Depositions are given that 
would imply that it was settled at an earlier date than 
was possible. One record reads that a Mr. Thompson's 
grant was bounded on the east by the old county road, 
as it was settled in 1608. This we know cannot be 
true. Often the statement is made that Piscataqua 
was settled as early as 1623-24, but as this applied to 
the whole region we cannot use it as absolute proof 
for Berwick's date settlement. The fact is that we do 
not know when the first person settled in the limits of 
the three Berwicks but we are not safe in placing the 
first settlement before 1631. All historians agree in 
placing Ambrose Gibbens the first settler of Berwick. 
Mr. Gibbens did not come over from England until 



l8 HISTORICAL 

1630, and iit that time explored the town in the interest 
of the Laconia Company, ol which he was an agent, in 
this section of the country. There is positive proof ol 
the time of his arrival. After exploring the town he 
went awa\- returning the following year, 1631, when 
he made a settleme;it near Quamphegan Falls, the 
head of navigation on the Piscataqua. The following 
3-ear 1632 his wife and daughter, then a 30ung lad}', 
came to live with him. 

In a letter written in 1633, dated at Newichawan- 
nock, the Indian name tor Berwick, Gibbens states 
that he is far from an}' white neighbors, and his house- 
hold consists of his family and lour men whose names 
were Thomas Blake, Thomas Crockett, Stephen Kidder 
and Charles Knill. This letter implies that there was 
no settlement near him at this time. There probably 
were travellers interested in various enterprises moving 
up and down the river, for in that same letter Gibbens 
speaks of his household usually numbering ten. Mr. 
Gibbens did not remain'long in Berwick, for we have 
a record of his being in New Hampshire in 1634. In 
fact he took out a grant of land on the New Hamp- 
shire side opposite the junction of the Great Works 
river with the Piscataqua. The D()^•er records 
contain the grant. 

In 1634 a shipload of immigrants came from Eng- 
land and passed up the Piscataqua. As the list con- 
taining the names of all the passengers who were on 
that vessel has been lost we do not know all who 



HISTORICAL 19 

cuine over, or where each one settled. Some no doubt, 
went to York, and the towns in New Hampshire, but 
we do know that the foHowing settled. in Berwiek, 
Henry Joslyn, William Chadbourne, James Wall and 
John Goddard. Thomas Spencer is known to have 
settled in town the same 3'ear. Some of these men 
remained all their lives in town, while others after- 
wards moved away. The tirst explorers in Berwick 
found the lands about the Great Works and Salmon 
rivers a dense wilderness. 

The vicinit}' about the Quamphegan Falls first 
attracted the white settler. Here he could easil}- ob- 
tain the necessities of life for himself and famil}- until 
the ground began to 3'ield part of tlieir support. The 
Salmon and Great Works river, on whose banks they 
had settled, furnished an abundance of fish, while the 
forests abounded with game. It is impossible to give a 
correct list of the earl}' settlers of Berwick. As a 
period of twent}' years passed before anj- of them took 
out grants of land, there would be nothing on the 
records to show their names. It was not until 1650, 
that grants of any extent were given. Those persons 
who wished to take out land received a grant from the 
General Court. Those who took out the first grants 
received more than those who applied later. Some 
received as high as a thousand acres but in most cases 
the grants were given out in equal lots. The first deed 
of land on record was the one made to Humphrey 
Chadbourne by the noted Sagamore Rowles. 



20 HISTORICAL 

The land extended above the Great Works River. 
The date of the purchase was 1643 and Thomas Spencer 
was a witness to the transaction. Twenty 3'ears after 
the tirst grant, the land in the vicinity of Ouamphegan 
was all taken up. The following persons are among 
the earliest settlers who took out, or came into pos- 
session of grants already taken out by others, along the 
river in the present town ol South Berwick: Thomas 
Spencer, Richard Nason, Alexander Maxwell, Alex- 
ander Cooper, Nathan Lord, James Warren, John 
Ta3lor, John Lamb, James Emery, Peter Grant, John 
Green, Thomas Abbott, Daniel Goodwin, Sr., Daniel 
Goodwin, Jr., James Emery, Phillip Hubbard, John 
Wincoll, Roger Plaistcd, Benoni Hodsdon, Nicholas 
Hodsdon and Miles Thompson. Other earl}' settlers 
were as follows: Richard Leader, William Spencer, 
Tom Tinker, James Heard, Daniel Hubbard, Richard 
Abbott, Daniel Ferguson, William Thompson, George 
Rogers, Nicholas Frost, Theodius Redder, Andrew 
Searl, James Barnard, Anthony Emery, James Grant, 
Ichabod Goodwin, John Falls, Samuel Falls, John 
Connor, Michael Rhoades, James Plaisted, Patrick 
Gowen, Nicholas Morrill, Elisha Plaisted, Alexander 
Ferguson, John Hooper, John Croude, Thomas 
Deering, Joseph Couch, Ichabod Tibbetts, Richard 
Tozier, William Piles, James Barry, William Love, 
Roger Plaisted. Others might be mentioned but this 
constitutes a greater part of list. For a period of 120 
3-ears the earl}' settlers did not venture far from their 



HISTORICAL 21 

first place of settlement which was in direct communi- 
cation with the coast. Their choice of early settle- 
ment was a good one, for Qiiamphegan is always one 
of the most beautiful and attractive places in the 
world. 

It is not surprising that a small settlement which 
we might term a well populated country road was 
established here, for Gibbens could not have found 
a more delightful place were he to search far and wide. 
Qiiamphegan Falls was so called by the Indians and 
meant "the place where fish were taken in nets." Here 
the}^ coule carry on their choice of occupation with the 
rivers furnishing excellent water power and the forests an 
abundance of timber. The taste for manufacturing 
and lumbering, rather then farming seems to have 
attracted our forefathers to settle here. Here along 
the bank of the river a landing was built, a trading 
post established, and a church and school-house erected. 
In short the early pioneers did what they could to 
make their surroundings agreeable and their lives 
happy. 

These early pioneers were a hardy people of 
rough exterior, ever kind and hospitable, yet always 
on the alert to see that their quiet and easy life was not 
endangered. All doubtful adventurers were excluded 
from the town. In 1634 it was ordered that "no 
person or persons whatsoever shall be admitted into 
this town without a license from the selectmen thereof" 
and "if any inhabitant of this town shall receive any 



22 HISTORICAL 

such person into his house contraiy to the above said 
order that any such inhabitant shall give any security 
unto the select men as they shall require, to save and 
keep harmless the town from any such person so 
received." Later a notice was given "to leave, the 
town" or "be dragged out; having had tilteen days 
previous notice." The settlers came very slowly at 
tirst. In fact after the managers Mason & Gorges had 
ceased to support their plantations on the Piscataqua, 
the colonies were loosing ground. The proprietors 
various schemes of amassing wealth in these colonies 
had only enriched the settlers themselves. 

It was not until the Civil wars between Charles II 
and Parliament that the first impulse came to the 
colonies after the original settlement. When Crom- 
well gained a decisive victory o\"er the royal troops 
at Dunbar in the north, he, not knowing how to better 
dispose ol his prisoners, banished them from their 
own country, England, and sent them to America. 

The settlements along the Piscataqua received 
man}- of these refugees. Some attracted by the bust- 
ling settlement along the Great Works, Piscataqua and 
Salmon Falls rivers were induced to settle here. 
Among those who came at this time were many from 
the ancient hamlet of Berwick in Yorkshire. These 
people probably gave the town its present name. The 
spelling of the name in the old records is Ber(v)ick 
and pronounced as if it it were spelled Berrick. So 
slowly did the settlers spread over the town that no 



HISTORICAL 23 

settlements were made above Worster's Brook until 
alter the Indian wars. 

In 1 7 13 Berwick was the most inland settlement 
towards Canada and the inhabitants were kept in a 
constant state of alarm. All houses be lore 17 15 were 
of hewn logs. Some were erectecl larger and stronger 
than others, for a place of refuge, when sutiering an 
attack from the Indians. Among those nearest the 
settlement at that time were the Shorey and Neal Gar- 
risons below Old Field, the Spencer Wentworth, Ka}', 
Tozier and Plaisted Garrisons near Salmon Falls, and 
later a fort on Pine Hill, north ot Steep Falls, sur- 
rounded by a stockade of sharpened poles twenty feet 
in height. It was not until the cession of Canada by 
France, to Great Britain, (1763) that the people be- 
gan to venture far from the lirst settlement. The 
influx of imigrants compelled the settlers to scatter 
throughout the town. 

The demand for lumber to operate the mills was 
another cause. The region in this section of the 
county was famous for mast or spar timber, which was 
shipped in large quantities to England. The old mast 
road is well known to the most of the people living 
near the Great Works river. 

The fear for the Indian had passed away, for the 
French could no longer influence them to harm the 
settlers. The town later experienced two great periods 
of excitement, the coming of the Qiiakers and the 
Salem Witchcraft. The Friends, as they are termed, 



24 HISTORICAL 

were terribl}' persecuted in New Hampshire. Some 
were taken in the dead of winter and plunged into the 
water, through a hole in the ice. Three women at 
Dover, New Hampshire, were made fast to a cart's 
tail and driven from town and whipped on their bare 
backs, ten stripes each, till the}' were beyond the juris- 
diction of the colony. John Hurd of Kittery, who saw 
the outrage, is said to have asked them if the ropes 
were the cords of the covenant. 

It was partly through his influence that this sect 
immigrated to the town. They received no persecu- 
tion to any extent, on this side of the Piscataqua, 
although a Mr. Richard Nason was disfranchised for 
harboring one of them in his house. It is an inter- 
esting fact to know that the first meeting of the Friends 
or Qiiakers (as they were then called) in the Prov- 
ince of Maine was at Newichawannock, in December 
1662. Superstition is ever present with the people. 
It was so to a greater extent among the early 
pioneers of our town than among its people today. 
Yet! hardly a day passes but we hear some illusion 
to the old notions. If we credit some of the stories, 
there may have been witches in Berwick. The 
Beaver Dam witch, Old Marea, as she was called, is 
said to have caused much trouble to those who did 
not do as she wished. Manv queer stories are con- 
nected with her. She is said to have lived near a sand 
bank in an old hovel near the road, at Beaver Dam. 
If anything went wrong the people said it was the 



HISTORICAL 25 

work of the witches. It is said that at one time a 
person was churning but the butter would not come 
so as usual the members of the family said that some 
one present was bewitched. To discover the evil 
spirit and to overcome it, they laid a file across the 
churn, then a member present read a chapter from the 
Bible. The result was as they expected, the butter 
soon came and the person bewitched immediately 
broke her leg. The old story of the "Witch Trot 
Road," a name handed down to us, is very interesting, 
but too long to give but in brief. Rev. Stephen Bur- 
rows, accused of witchcraft, was summoned for trial 
and two constables and another person, his enemies, 
were sent to conduct him hither. Mr. Burrows sug- 
gested that they take a short cut through* the woods, 
which was accepted, but they had not ventured far 
when a thunder storm arose, leaving them in darkness. 
The party, except Mr. Burrows, were almost fright- 
ened to death, and succeeded with ditficulty in getting 
through the woods. The arising of the storm at that 
time was enough to convince the three men that the 
parson had supernatural power. This occurence gave 
to it its present name "Witch Trot Rodd,'' situated in 
South Berwick. 

The people after the Indian wars soon began to leave 
the centers of business, Great Works and the section 
about Salmon Falls, and to take out grants of land in the 
present towns of Berwick and North Berwick. These 
were largely the descendents of the early pioneer who 



26 HISTORICAL 

settled South Berwick. It is a noticeable fact that 
that those who ventured thus far traveled the banks of 
the rivers as the}' moved back into the dense forest. 
These persons did not reach the present town of North 
Berwick much before 1750. The first settlement was 
made near Doughty's Falls, named probably for the 
lamil}' of that name who were there. 

The Morrills, Puringtons, Hobbs, Husseys and 
ButTums are said to be the tirst settlers. The earliest 
settlers on Beach Ridge were: William and Silas 
Ilall, Benjamin, Joseph, Thomas and Silas Hurd. The 
north, east and west parts of the town were settled by 
Samuel Hurd, John Falls, and S. Roberts. The north- 
west was settled first by John Libb}'. The lollowing 
are other eafh' settlers John R. Randall, Daniel Qiiint, 
Samuel Ilanscom, Hercules Fernald, Daniel Qiiint, 
Staples family, Christopher Hammond, Samuel Hurd, 
John Fall, S. Roberts and John Libby. The Qiiakers 
were among the earl}- settlers. 

The increase in manufacturies soon induced many 
to immigrate to the town. The movement from Sal- 
mon Falls was similar to that of Great Works. Up 
the river they journeyed but very slowlv at first. The 
present town of Berwick was not settled before 1650. 
The first grant of land was made to Roger Plaisted in 
1654. Plaisted no doubt lived here three or four years 
before he obtained his grant. The old burial spot 
where he now lies can be seen from the South Ber- 
wick road and marks the place of his settlement. 



HISTORICAL 27 

Grants were soon taken along the river on the same 
road by Richard Tozier, William Piles, John Wilcoln, 
James Barry and William Love. Soon they came 
toward Blackberry Hills, so named because of the 
abundance ol that specie ol berry found by the ex- 
plorers. Among the tirst here was James Chadbourne, 
John Woodsum, Samuel Brackett and John Morse. 
This section soon became the leading portion ot the 
upper part of the old town. Here churches, school- 
houses, stores and even a hotel was built. It was what 
we might term the upper village of the town. The 
old burying ground is still there with its ancient tomb- 
stones reminding us of this once important and historic 
part of the town. Beaver dam was soon visited b}' 
the settlers. Among the first here and to the north at 
Diamond Hill were those famdies by the name of 
Chick, Andrews, Grant, Goodrich, Guptill, Skillings, 
INIurray and Goodwins'. 

It is said that Joshua Andrews, one of the earliest 
in that section walked to Amesbury, Mass., and gave 
a man twenty dollars to tell him how to catch wolves. 
He also bought a trap for that same purpose on that 
trip. That trap is now in the possession ol one of his 
descendants who lives on the same lot of land. The 
town records inform us that Mr. Andrews received 
monev from the town on several occasions for the 
bounty on the wolves that he caught and killed. 

Cranberry Meadow was settled by William Frost, 
Stephen Hardison, Humphrey Lord, Elisha Goodwin, 



28 HISTORICAL 

Nicholas Lord and Ebenezer Brown. The first on 
Pine Hill were Thomas Downs, John Fall, William 
Downs, Benjamin liersom and Benjamin Lord, Jr. 

The present site of Berwick village was not 
settled be lore 1749. The first house, (log-cabin) was 
erected by Ebenezer Lord, great-grandfather of the 
late George W. Lord on the site of the present house, 
Berwick street. 



Incorporation 



Berwick was incorporated the ninth town, June 9, 
1 7 13, and then included what is now Berwick and 
North and South Berwick. Previous to this was a 
parish oi Unity set oft' as such by the tow^i Kittery, too 
poor as was supposed, to ever form a separate town. 
Before it was incorporated it had annually elected its 
board of three selectmen. 

The first regular town meeting was held in the 
old meeting house at Old Fields, South Berwick, and 
the following officers w^ere chosen: Humphrey Chad- 
bourne, town clerk; Benjamin Nason, John Croude, 
Elisha Plaisted, James Emery and James Grant, select- 



HISTORICAL 29 

men; John Hooper, treasurer; Benjamin Nason served 
as moderator. 

The town meeting of our forefathers attended to 
the transaction of the minutest details of every da}' 
life, as well as those of greater importance. Their 
civil and religous problems were both on tjie equal 
footing and received the same attention. There the 
schoolmaster was appointed, his salary apportioned; 
the preacher was chosen; money was raised for the 
support of the gospel; and even the sexton was 
selected to ring the bell and keep tid}' the place of 
worship. Benoni Bragdon, a faithful servant as he is 
called, held this position for a number of years, and 
was obliged, as his contract read, to sweep out the 
house once in three months. 

October 22, 1701 — Voted to build a new meeting 
house lor the use ol the inhabitants of the parish, they,

Monday, July i, 1776 — In a town meeting held at 
South Parish meeting house, Daniel Libby was chosen 
chairman, and it was yoted that "Should the Hon. 
Congress, for the safet}' ot the colonys Declare them 
independent of the Kingdom of Great Britain, we, the 
Inhabitants of said town, will Solemnl}' engage with 
our Liyes and Fortunes to support them in the meas-

him 20 pounds a year for his seryices. Voted to get 
from the general court a grant of land for the minister. 

February 19, 1753 — Voted, a parish house (resi- 
dence) for the parson, and that it should be built in 
elegant style. This meeting-house and parsonage was 
stationed on Blackberry Hill. 

Elections were held at Tilly Ilaggens' Inn till 
1767, and on Blackberry Hill, in the meeting-house, 
until 1748, when the old one was destro}ed by fire and 
a new one ert;cted on the same grounds. This one 
was afterwards moyed to Berwick yillage and now 
sits on School street, in which the annual town meet- 
ings are now held. 

In 1790 the South Parish (South Berwick) tried to 
form itself into a separate town. A petition was ad- 



HISTORICAL 33 

dressed to the General Court. The Parish line was 
the proposed boundary. The petition was denied. A 
second attempt likewise failed. The third one, 1813, 
was granted and South Berwick became a separate 
town. 

TItc present town of North Berwick was incorpo- 
rated by an act of the Legislature passed March 21, 
and approved March 22, 1831. The inhabitants were 
required to pa}' their portion of previously assessed 
taxes, and received their share of the old town stock 
of powder, balls, flints and camp equipage. 

The first town meeting was held at a meeting 
house two miles from Bauneg-Beg Lake, on the Oak 
Wood Road, April 4, 183 1. Daniel Clark presided as 
moderator and the following officials were elected: 
Sheldon Hobbs, town clerk; William Weymouth, John 
Chase and J. Crane, selectmen, assessors and overseers 
of the poor; Isaac Frost, Benajah Hall and John 
Young, constables and collectors; Sheldon Hobbs, 
treasurer and clerk ot the market; William Weymouth, 
George Heard and Mark Nowell, Jr., school com- 
mittee. 

Elections were held in the old church until 1876, 
when it was abandoned and the town business trans- 
ferred to the hall, the present place of assembl}-, in the 
village. 



34 HISTORICAL 



nilitary Hatters 



The town of Berwick is justl}' entitled to the high 
esteem of the state and nation for her lo3'al support of 
the government in military affairs. Her settlement was 
maintained against the savages in man}' instances, and 
it was necessary for the pioneers to defend their homes 
and protect their families at the point of the bayonet. 
Alter so many years of self defense it is not surprising 
that the}' helped whip the soldiers of Britian at Bunker 
Hill, Concord and Lexington. The War of the Revo- 
lution found this town ready to do its whole duty in 
the stiring events of that period. 

Berwick sent out two full companies of soldiers 
for service in the Revolution. They were commanded 
by Captains Phillip Hubbard and Daniel Wood. 
Ebenezer Sullivan soon suceeded Capt. Wood, who 
was advanced to Major. 

We have not attempted to give a list of the Revo- 
lutionary soldiers who went from the town of Berwick. 
The list is of such proportion as to make one ask if all 
the male population did not enlist, and such was the 
intense ardor in behalf of the Revolutionary cause that 
such was almost the case. Almost every campaign of 
that whole period of eight years war, was participated 
in by men from the sturdy and loyal old town of Ber- 
wick on the Piscatqua. From the male population of 



HISTORICAL 35 

Berwick at the time of the Revolution it will be very 
difficult to find one person of sufficient age who was 
not in the service of the continental army at some 
period or other. 

WAR OF 1 8x2 

In this war the government was well supported, 
although meetings were held in some parts of the town 
declaring it to be an unjust and unwarranted conflict. 
The town voted to lend $800 to equip their citizens 
who were to enlist, but were not able to arm them- 
selves. A call was also made upon the government 
for sixt}' stands of arms. Many of the citizens enlisted 
and performed laithlully the duties required. 

WAR OF THE REBELLION 

North Berwick furnished for the War, approxi- 
inately, eighty men, and money for bounties and 
incidental expenses to the amount of $30,000. No 
town can boast of a more loyal support of the Govern- 
ment in this conflict of human rights. Too much 
praise cannot be given to those true and patriotic men 
who enlisted and served in the struggle of 1861. 

With due reverence we herewith give the names 
of those who enlisted as citizens of North Berwick:

rianufacturing Account 



The manufacturing history of Berwick covers a 
long period. The whole attention of the early settlers 
seems to have been directed in that line, and the 
forests were striped with astonishing rapidity. Shin- 
gles and pine boards were legal tender "delivered at 
the landing, when the slopes ran" or were exchanged 
with the merchants for rum, molasses and other 
necessities ol life. A mill was erected at Great Works 
as early as 1634 and others soon followed on Great 
Works and Salmon Falls rivers. All persons wanting 
timber received a grant or permit to cut it upon the 
common lands. In 1850, Richard Leader was granted 
"all the rights to the privilege or mill power on the 
little river known as the Newichawannock, with 
liberty and like property in all timber not yet appropri- 
ated to any town or person. He immediately erected 
a large mill carrying eighteen saws. He was also 
granted permission to cut pine timber along the river 
as far up as the town limits extended. His restriction 
in width way one-half mile each side ot the river. 
Mr. Leader acquired wealth from his lumber opera- 
tions, and it is said that either the vastness of Mr. 
Leader's operations or the erection of iron works on 
the river a little later gave it its present name, Great 
Works. 



38 HISTORICAL 

In 1660, Captain Broughton agreed to erect a mill 
on his lot at Qiianghegan Falls, and to saw on halves 
any logs that the inhabitants might get upon the 
timbered lands above. Humphrey Chadbourne as 
early as 1661 had lumber camps about the Great 
Works river, where he got out lumber ior his mills. 

The first mill in our present town. North Berwick, 
was erected by Peter Morrill on the Great Works 
river at the village, about 1722. A run of stones was 
connected with it by which grist grinding was done 
for the settlers. Alterward he engaged in the manu- 
lacture of iron on the same river, but as it was not a 
financial success, because of its poor quality, the 
undertaking was abandoned. The mill was in opera- 
tion as early as 1810, if not earlier. A mill for carding 
wool took the place occupied by the iron works. In 
1834, Friend Hill and John D. Lang, erected a wooden 
building, 60 feet long, two stories high, for the pur- 
pose of doing custom-work and the manufacture of 
machine blankets. This firm was among the first in 
this section of the country to establish a factory fbr 
the manufacture of this kind of goods. In 1861 the 
plant was destroyed by fire. 

Among the .leading manufacturies of the town 
today are the following: North Berwick Co manu- 
facturers of flannels and dress goods. This plant is 
the outgrowth of the one mentioned above that was 
destro3ed by fire, and was incorporated in 1838. The 
firm owns two large, brick buildings, four stories high 



HISTORICAL 39 

thirty tenement houses, and many hirge store houses. 
This plant also operates a saw and grist mill and 
machine shop. The firm also carries on quite an 
extensive retail coal, wood and lumber business. Ap- 
proximately one hundred hands are employed. Capital 
$8o,OQO. Plant operated by steam and water power. 
M. R. Hurd, president; W. B. Tobey, agent and 
treasurer. 

Samuel BufFum & Co. — manufactures of box 
shooks and boxes. This present industry was started 
in 1855 by William R. Tober ot Fairhaven, Mass., who 
built a mill here at that date. The first busmess was 
the manufacture of shooks for small boxes. This 
grew to include a large variety of shooks, shipped b}' 
car loads to distant cities. The present firm was or- 
ganized under the name, Samuel Buffum & Co., in 
1869. Since the first building was constructed many 
additions have been made to the plant. In 1898, a 
new mill was built in connection with the old one for 
the manufacture of small lock-corner boxes, which are 
put together with glue, finished with sand paper, and 
shipped in crates to all parts of the country. The firm 
operates man}' portable saw mills in this vicinit}'. 
Capital invested in plant $30,000. Employs ninty-five 
men, thirteen boys and twelve girls. Steam power. 

Another of the manufacturing industries of this 
town is the Box Shook and Lumber manufacturing of 
Isaac Varne}' & Sons. Their mill was built in 1895 
and has been in active operation since that time. The}' 



40 HISTORICAL 

are equipped with one hundred and hlty Yl. P. 
westing house, compound steam engine, and turn out 
a product of hirge proportion. This stationary* saw 
mill is capable of turning out 20,000 feet of sawed 
lumber per day, and their portable mill has a capacity 
of about 15,000. Their crew numbers sevent}^ men and 
they work ten hours per day, and also more or less 
over time in the more busy seasons. The industry is 
one of the important ones of the town and furnishes 
employment that is of much value to the community. 



Educational Account 



The school history of North Berwick is a source ol 
pride to her ever}' citizen, extending as it has over a pe- 
riod of one hundred and seventy-live 3-ears. The amount 
of good it has done cannot be known; but this much 
we do know, that no town has put forth greater el1:brt 
to fit its representatives for the field of work. The 
examples of strength and power who have gone forth 
from this town and entered all fields of labor, are 
sufficient proofs of the above. 

A school was kept at the expense of the town, as 
earl}' as 1714. Master Rookes was the first school 
teacher, and he was chosen master in 17 16, at a salary 
of forty pounds. John Bradstreet was the second 



HISTORICAL 41 

master and was to teach in a private house until a 
schoolhouse could be built. The same year, 17 18, the 
house was completed and stood near the old parish 
church, at Old Fields. This was the tirst schoolhouse 
erected in town. Stephen Emer}', James Pike and 
Joseph Newmarch are among the earliest teachers. 

Stephen Emer}' was to take his pay in "one-halt 
boards and one-half in Public Bills." James Pike 
taught in town as early as 1726. Joseph Newmarch 
was master in 1727, and taught reading, writing and 
spelling. 

In 1724 two schoolhouses stood above the Great 
Works river, and school was kept in six places, two 
months each, by one teacher. In 1749 the master was 
to teach two weeks at one point then two at another. 
In 1758 a whole school year, the first of its kind, was 
kept in the upper parish, and two whole years' school 
were held in town in 1761. 

Five years later a committee to better regulate 
schools lor the future was chosen, after which two 
schools were regularly kept. In 1770 one hundred and 
forty pounds was paid for live months summer schools, 
and the town obliged teachers to present a certificate 
of moral character in 1790. The same year a plan was 
made agreeable to the new law, and in 1791 an 
Academy was incorporated. The school was situated 
in the present village of South Berwick and was the 
beginning of a new and higher development of 
learning. From that time to the present, the schools 
of the town have made a gradual advancement. 



42 HISTORICAL 

The town has begun action tor the erection ot the 
much needed high school building. The present 
superintendent is John E. Abbott. Much interest is 
manifested in educational matters and hearty and lib- 
eral support given them by the towns people. Under 
their present efficient managers and instructors, we 
leel it is safe to say that they are keeping abreast of 
the most successful schools in the State, that are con- 
ducted under similar conditions. Improvements in 
system and general direction are instituted from time 
to time, as the best interests of the schools require. 



Church History 



BAPTIST 

This church begins with the first church organized 
in the town of Berwick in 1701, and whose house of 
worship was situated on the site of District No. 2 
schoolhouse. Brattle street. Great works settlement, in 
the town of South Berwick* A second society was 
formed on what is known as "Great Hill," in the same 
town, in 1768, at which time seventeen were added to 
the church. 

There was a feeling of enmity at first against this 
denomination and some of its strongest advocates were 
abused. A meeting house was erected by the second 



HISTORICAL 43 

society, through the benevolence of their first pastor 
and leader, Rev. Joshua Emery. In 1842 a new house 
was built in the southern part of the present town of 
Berwick, about two miles from its present site, where 
it remained until 1867, when it was removed and re- 
built in more modern style on its present location. The 
church was dedicated the following year, 1868. The 
first pastor to serve the people was the Rev. W. C. 
Barrows, an ardent Christian worker, under whose 
pastorate the church was very prosperous. 

The following have served the church as pastors, 
with term of service: Revs. W. C. Barrows, 1868-70; 
Cyrus Tibbetts, 1871-74; A. De F. Palmer, 1875-80; 
George A. Cleveland, 1881-83; W. H. Hamlin. ^ Mr. 
Hamlin was followed by the Rev. H. A. Stetson, under 
whose guidance the church was remodeled and made 
the beautiful house of worship ot today. Mr. Stetson 
was succeeded by Rev. Samuel Emery, who came to 
this charge in 1898, and remained six years. The 
present pastor. Rev. Fred W. Peakes, took the pas- 
torate in October 1904. The church is in a prosperous 
condition with a membership of one hundred and four. 

FREE BAPTIST 

The second Free Baptist church at the village 
was organized December 15, 1839, under the preaching

The present house of worship was remodeled in 
1883 during the pastorage of Rev. F. C. Bradeen. The 
parsonage was built the following year, 1884. The 
chiuxh is in a flourishing condition, with a member- 
ship of one hundred and eighty. 

FREE WILL BAPTIST BEECH RIDGE 

About 1825 there had been a free meeting house 
erected on Beech Ridge. The Methodists supplied the 



HISTORICAL 45 

pulpit for a briet time, but afterwards it passed under 
the control of the Free Will Baptists. Through the 
efforts of Rev. Mr. Trask, a colored preacher, a 
church was soon organized at a council called for that 
purpose, at which time twenty-eight members were 
enrolled. 

David B. Crowell of Great Falls, now Somers- 
worth, N. H., preached to the people and brought a 
sweeping reformation among them. He was ordained 
Februar}' 20, 1840. Mr. CrowelTs pastorate closed the 
following year, 1841, and was followed by Rev. E. H. 
Hart. The church was soon rent in twain over the 
draft of a church covenant made by Rev. Mr. Crowell, 
and other reforms. The church voted to disband and 
those whose views could be made to harmonize began 
the work of reorganization. 

This new society was organized March i, 1843, 
with fourteen members. For a few years the society 
was supplied by different pastors. The old meetmg 
house getting out of repair, was finally sold and the 
present neat place of worship was erected. The par- 
sonage was also built near b}' the church. This new 
church was dedicated in i860, under the pastorate of 
Elder Theodore Stevens. 

The Beech Ridge and Beaver Dam churches were 
consolidated in i860. In 1885 the church was raised 
and a neat and convenient vestry was built underneath. 
Since the building of the present house, the following 
have served the church as pastors; Revs. James 



46 HISTORICAL 

Nason, N. D. Jones, Thomas Spooncr, Jr., A. H. Hill, 
E. Tnttle, J. R. Franklin, F. E. Briggs, James Nason, 
H. C. Lander, Mr. Brown, H. C. Lander a second call, 
George Gray, A. M. Cox, and James Bo3'd, the present 
beloved pastor, who came to the people in 1892. 
Under his laithliil labor the church is in a prosperous 
condition. 

"old school predestinarian baptists" 

This church was organized May 21, 1804, having 
hfty-tive members and Elder Nathaniel Lord was the 
first pastor. Elder Lord, because of his declining 
health, in 1832, was assisted as moderator by Elder 
Philander Hartwell, who came to them from the San- 
ford Baptist church. He was chosen pastor of the 
Baptist church April 25, 1832. The Elders, Stewart, 
Purington and Whitehouse supplied the church with 
preaching. 

On June 12, 1847, Elder Richard Tobie was 
chosen pastor of the church and dismissed August 
15, 1840. Elder Tobie was followed by Rev. William 
Qjiint, who came to the people March 6, i860. Mr. 
Ouint remained with the people until his death, Jan- 
uar}' 17, 1892. Elder Qiiint was succeeded by the 
present pastor. Elder Fred W. Keene, who began his 
duties in Jul}', 1803. 

During Elder Philander HartwelTs pastorate, the 
church, May i, 1833, voted to withdraw from the 



HISTORICAL 47 

"York Association." The reason of this step was ovei 
doctrinal views. From this time till the present this 
church has been in correspondence with churches now 
known as "Old School Predestinarian Baptists." 

The first meeting house, spoken of in history as 
Elder Lord's, was built about 1871. The present 
house of worship and parsonage, were erected in 1852. 
Present membership of the church, fifty-six. 



FRIENDS 

Records tell us that this organization was among 
the earliest in town. From Dover, N. H., where this 
societ}' was continually being persecuted the Friends 
fled to the Maine side. Organizations were formed 
and meetings were held in the town, then Kittery. 
The first house of worship in the present town of 
North Berwick stood on the Oak Woods road, south 
of Bauneg-Beg, where quite a settlement of Friends 
existed. The meeting house was torn down, as the 
house fell to decay and the society thinned in members 
and the present one was built on Qiiaker street. In 
its day this church was quite prosperous, but its power 
lessened by a lack ot harmony among its members.

Facts of Interest 



The present village of North Berwick contains 
about 1 200 inhabitants and is adorned b}' beautiful 
buildings and well laid streets, lighted by electricity. 
The town is quite a hustling manufacturing center. 
Previous to its present name, the village was known 
as Doughty's Falls, a name supposed to have been 
given from a man who lost his life at the Falls, while 
employed in driving logs for the mills below. The 
main village was lormerl}' between the Great Works 
and Neguntaquit rivers. 

The first settler, in the vicintity of the village, 
was Thomas Hobbs, who came here with his brother- 
in-law, Benjamin Weymouth, in 1735, and built a saw 
mill where the Husse}' plow works are now situated. 
The}' secured the land of Thomas Spinney and the 
deed to Mr. Hobbs has the signature of Sir. William 
Pepperell. Mr. Hobbs and his partner came here 
trom Dover, N. H. 

It is interesting to note that these first saw mills 
were built by a S3'ndicate of farmers and the shares 



HISTORICAL 53 

were reckoned by the day and upwards. That meant 
that when each man's turn came he must go to the 
mill and run it as many days as he owned shares. 
Mr. Hobbs, grandfather of John E. Hobbs, Esq., it is 
said took charge ot the mill one Sunday eve, and kept 
the plant going one solid week without taking a rest 
in sleep. This gives us a type of the endurance oi 
our ancesters, not to be equaled by us today. 

The first house built in the village was by Mr. 
Hobbs and was situated on the site of land, now be- 
tween the houses of Samuel Buffum and Mrs. Hurd. 
Later he erected a second house a little north of John 
E. Hobbs' present residence. Mr. Thomas Hobbs 
owned an extensive tract of land. His son, Thomas, 
succeeded him in all prominent positions in the town. 

The second persons to settle in the village were 
Peter and Jedediah Morrell. They came here in 1743 
and built a mill the following year, where now stands 
the woolen plant, jedediah erected a house where 
Morrell Sherburne now lives. Peter built Butler's 
present residence. 

The principal business of the village in its early 
days was lumbering. The timbered lands about there 
gave a grand opportunity for this occupation. This is 
one reason why early mills were established. It is an 
acknowledged fact to be proud of, that "Leaders" mill 
at Great Works was the first of its kind in the world. 

The village and town increased slowly at first in 
population. In 1735, Maine, then Massachusetts, had 



54 HISTORICAL 

less than 9000 inhabitants, and in 1750, only 10,000, an 
increase of only one thousand in fifteen years. At the 
time of the Revolutionary War, Berwick had the 
largest population of any town in Maine. Many of 
the war veterans came to our town at the close of the 
struggle and took out grants, on which to settle homes. 

In 1840 there were approximately forty houses 
within a mile of the center of the village, and the busi- 
ness section was on the opposite side Irom where it is 
today. Here was the first post office and Major Jona- 
than Savage was its postmaster. The merchants here 
at that time were Moses Hubbard, Thomas Hobbs, Jr. 
Jeremiah Lord, Peletiah Husse}' and Benajah Bufium. 
The one hotel was kept by Nathaniel Hobbs, situated 
near the present watering trough. The sign hung to 
the post read: "N. Hobbs Inn — 1804." At his death 
Mr. Hobbs was the oldest hotel proprietor in the state. 

The one church was the Qiiakers' and was situated 
near where now is the Friends Cemetery. That de- 
nomination at that date comprised almost one-half 
of the families in the town. The first doctor in the 
town was "Jedediah Morrell." 

At the opening ol the railroad, 1842, the business 
section moved nearer the depot, its present location. 
Frederick Rogers was the first to start a store near the 
depot. He had as clerk, Mr. George Snow, who later 
succeeded him in business. Rev. Mr. Colby was an 
early trader on the present side, and one of his helpers 
was Rufus Flatch, Esq., who later became a noted 



HISTORICAL 55 

financier. Peletiah Hussey, moved his business over, 
and later was cashier oi the bank, which position he 
held honorably for many years. Daniel Chadbourne, 
another early merchant, was postmaster during Lin- 
coln's administration.

THE FOSTER AND BESSE SYSTEM STORES 

HOW IT AVORI^S 

When any business enterprise claims to offer special advantages 
to the public, the public is entitled to know the facts upon which 
claims are based. 

The secret of the success of the Foster and Besse System is a 
very simple one, being the principal of co-operation in buying and 
selling carried out on a broad and business like scale. 

The Foster system in New England alone, represents 27 stores, 
and as a rule, are doing the biggest business in their line wherever 
located. With them are associated the Besse System of 16 stores. In 
many cases they are able to control the entire output of leading 
manufacturers and naturally own the goods at first-hand prices, includ- 
ing all cash discounts and the advantage of wholesale orders. In 
this way the quality of the goods is arbitrarily maintained and the 
reputation of each and every one of the Foster and Besse System 
Stores has been built upon the bedrock foundation of honest goods, 
warranted to prove as represented, the lowest retail cash prices and 
courteous treatment to ever}'^ customer. 

Wherever one of Foster and Besse System Stores is located, 
the fact is generally known and acknowledged, even by their com- 
petitors, that they can afford to sell better goods for less money than 
any house not enjoying the advantage of of such a combination, the 
retail sales of which aggregate several million dollars annually 

The Foster and Besse System of Stores has been in existence 
for more than thirty-five years, and it is without question the most 
rational and easily understood evolution in the art of economical mer- 
chandising ever achived, and its result is not only success for its 
promoters, but a matter of practical household economy in every 
family that can avail themselves of the opportunity to make their 
purchases at one of the stores. 

We will take great pleasure in showing you our goods and prices 
that will convince you that it will be to your advantage, both in 
assortment and the prices we offer for you to trade with us. 

Our stock is always complete, and anything new you will find 
here. We also carry a full line of Trunks. Suit Cases, Extension 
Bags, Hammocks, etc.

The population of the town of North Berwick has been arranged 
herewith in families where that arrangement has been possible. 
In these families, in addition to the resident living members, 
the names of the non-resident members are included. It should 
be borne in mind that this plan does not include the names of 
all former residents of this town as the names of the non-residents 
appear only when one or both the parents are still living in the town. 
At the end of the Census will be found the names of non-residents 
with their present addresses, when such addresses have been given 
to us. The non-residents are indicated by the (*). 

Following the names of the population is the occupation. To 
designate the occupations we have used the more common abbrevia- 
tions and contractions. Some of these follow: Farmer — far; carpen- 
ter—car; railroad service — R R ser; student, a member of an ad- 
vanced institution of learning — stu; pupil, a member of a lower grade 
of schools — pi; housework — ho; laborer — lab; physician and surgeon 
— phy & sur; clergyman — clerg; merchant — mer; teacher — tr; black- 
smith — blk: clerk — cl; book-keeper — bk kpr; lawyer — law; mechanic 
— mech; engineer — eng; insurance^ins; maker — mkr; worker — 
wkr; work — wk; shoe shop work — s s wk. 

This Census was taken during the spring of 1904, expressly 
for this work by E. M. Campbell, Kent's Hill, Me.
